Wow guys I haven't been getting my email alerts according to my iCal gender bender will be released on Saturday and then I get to do my "I was right and u were stupid dance" to all the non believers who missed out, unless anyone has heard of its definite cancellation??

P.s I decided to go for the kid robot south parks, I know this is a futurama forum but I can't find a beginners topic on kid robot so ill share it here only cost me $200 inc shipping

Hmmm, looking at Forbidden Planet's pricing on regular Futurama figures, they seem to have the same prices, but in pounds rather than dollars (that's what I found when I visited the UK, everything was the same numbers except the currency was worth 50% more). So if they're selling the Destructor set for £56.99, I still think it will come in around my expected price of $54.99. The only wrinkle is that they're offering that price as being "19% off", in which case the US price could be anywhere up to $69.99.

Feeling very ripped off on Futurama merch recently, it's all limited edition/random boxed which makes it very easy for ebayers to make money and difficult for collectors to get hold of at the retail price, almost to suspicious levels :(

I can only speak to these Toynami figures as haven't followed other Futurama merchandise, but you really have to look at it as this line has basically been dead for a long time now.

So if it weren't for convention exclusives, we probably wouldn't be seeing this Destructor/Bender set, and as it is this may very well be the last thing we ever see.

Personally, I don't get it as the first Destructor sold out days after the convention with an immediate huge and sustained run-up in prices on the secondary market.

And I can't understand how figures like Morbo and Lrr wouldn't sell very well with online retailers. But for whatever reason, Toynami can't seem to get it together.

So in the absence of anything else, I'll take the exclusives. Bring on a Morbo / Lrr convention exclusive two-pack! I'd pay double for those too in an instant.

Ha, maybe...I really wanted that talking robot devil. The Bender one is so awesome!

I don't know which of you will be able to see this link but Futurama posted a Comic-Con Cheat Sheet on facebook...looks like we knew about all of them except for the free poster. So awesome that Zoidy is blue!! And glows in the dark!!

Kidrobot glow in the dark blue Zoidberg.That's almost as cool as the Kidrobot Hedonismbot that's coming later this year.

But it sucks that the talking Robot Devil and Tineez are perhaps canned.

"FUTURAMA TINEEZ SERIES 2 STYLIZED MINI-FIGURE 3-PACK -The item number 'TN1637' is no longer available. This item was removed from our website (entertainmentearth.com) on Monday, July 08, 2013 due to cancellation by the manufacturer."

So my friend is at ComicCon and she texted me that apparently Toynami is only selling merch to those with wristbands that they handed out earlier in the day, so they are definitely are limiting that product this year. They are doing the same for Kidrobot too. My guess is this will make online prices soar...

Wait a second, I don't even want morbo but if I don't sign up for the kick starter program that will end the line, but if we all sign up for it, it means they may produce the mafia..... Also Im biting the bullet Im paying that overly priced amount for gender bender, it's not the most I've spent on a model, Mysterion cost £180

I do believe that Kickstarter idea started her with jabalong. Awesome! I will definitely be supporting this when it starts. Like EvilPDA said, hopefully this will lead to other figures coming out on Kickstarter. Now all I have to do is find a decently priced Destructor and Gender Bender combo....sigh.

Me and my brother will BOTH be supporting this. I'm glad they're actually doing it. My guess is that they'll have Stretch Goals. Which means if they reach a certain amount they'll make Morbo, if they make a certain amount after that they'll make Lrrr. If they make a certain amount after that they'll start with Mafia/Flexo etc. I suggest that come August everyone of us pass the kickstarter around to as many people as possible.

Isn't that Hypnotoad a Kidbot?

@EvilPDA I would hold off for a bit, and see what happens after Comic Con has ended. Some stores are bound to get them like they did the Destructor last year.

I really want Gender Bender, as I have every other figure. But I REALLY don't want to pay like £100+ for a figure I already have and one that's a rehash of several that I have already. The most I've ever payed for a figure is £120, but it was a figure that was limited to 100.
